Quoted from kermit24:The best players are much more consistent, so this definitely gives more average players a better chance, IF they dump a ton of money in it!
Can you explain why you think this? The best players are not ONLY more consistent, they also have more monster games. So I think there is little difference in who gets into finals between the two formats. Remember that you still have to put up good scores on multiple machines. One or two monster games still won't get you in.
Quoted from Whysnow:Thye are trying to build the sport by coming up with bigger prize pools....Unfortunately they now filter all the cash upwards. Please explain to me if that is not the case.
According to the PAPA website the top prizes for PAPA 20 divisions are (in thousands) $7, $2, $1, $0.15. Previous years they were $10, $4, $1, $0.5. So they don't appear to be trying to build a bigger prize pool. First place in A does get 3.5 times the second place finisher and the winner of B division. Was that what you meant by "filtering all the cash upwards"?
